Simple newbie question

 

Just got my Nuvi 360 and uploaded the 2009 map. Does this upload replace the 2008 map or add it. And if it adds it, do I need to somehow delete the old one? And if I need to delete the old one, how do I do that.

Thanks....this looks like a wonderful site. Can't wait to delve into it deeper.

yes it replaces the 2008 map

No you don't have to remove the old one...

The update software will remove the old one and install the new one during the update process.

If you have a PC you may also want to install MapSource. This is a free program available from the Garmin website. It allows you to plan routes and mark locations on your PC and then transfer the data to your GPSr.

If you do a search for MapSource you will find more information about the program. Enjoy.

Lest the OP be confused, the Nuvi 360 will not accept routes developed in Mapsource (which, BTW, cannot be downloaded from the Garmin website). He'd have to jump all the way to the 7XX series Nuvi before he'd be able to upload routes........ Comments not meant to be pointed, only to clarify.

Really?

Forgive me sir, but read the warning on your link. If you don't already have Mapsource, the update will not work.

The link says that it will not work unless you have a mapsource product installed. The 2009 map program IS a mapsource product.

You may want to look at this node before installing http://www.poi-factory.com/node/15660?page=1 .Others went back to earlier version after having problems.
